What is wall heating and will it work better than underfloor heating?

Underfloor heating, as the name suggests, is the heat emitted from the ground, thus heating. Wall heating, on the other hand, uses the wall surface as a radiant surface and uses heat-generating materials and low-temperature hot water for heating, which originated in Europe at the earliest. At present, most of the most common wall heaters are made of carbon crystal materials.

First of all, in terms of comfort, floor heating is from the bottom up, and the heat dissipation is even, which is more in line with the health care effect of enough to warm the head and cool the head; The wall heating is installed on one side of the wall, the heat dissipation is uneven, and the installation is not easy to be too high, otherwise it will affect the heating, so the floor heating is slightly better at this point.

Secondly, in terms of quick installation, as long as the heating material is fixed on the wall, the general electrician can install it, and it can be completed in a short time; The floor heating is relatively complex, from the design to the selection of materials to the installation of this series of steps, are very important, extremely professional, so here the wall heating is better.

Then, in terms of heating speed and aesthetics, the heat conversion rate of the carbon crystal heating plate with wall heating can reach 98%, and it can rise to more than 18 in just 15 minutes, which can be said to be hot when it is opened; The heating of the floor heating is relatively slow, and it will take at least half an hour to achieve the effect; And the aesthetics of both do not occupy practical space, and it is a tie.

Finally, in terms of the cost that we are most concerned about, the cost of wall heating is higher than that of floor heating because the heating element is a carbon crystal plate. Generally speaking, the cost of installing floor heating in a 100-square-meter house is about 10,000 yuan, and wall heating is more expensive, so it is more cost-effective to install wall heating in a small apartment; In terms of usage fees, if 100 square meters are set up to 18 to 20, the monthly electricity cost of wall heating is about 800, although the electricity consumption of electric floor heating is comparable, but water floor heating is relatively cheaper.

If there are elderly and children at home or have high requirements for the quality of life, it is recommended to install floor heating; And wall heating is more suitable for young office workers.

Now that the temperature is getting lower and lower, what should I do if I want to install floor heating in a renovated house? It is impossible to re-embed the pipeline, now a new type of baseboard floor heating has been promoted in a large area, its advantage is that the installation is simple and convenient, and will not expose the ugly pipeline, 100 square meters of the house can be installed in 3 days, especially suitable for the use of houses that have been renovated. In addition, compared to traditional heating, it can save more than 60% of the cost per month, which is easy to use and saves money.

Wall-mounted heater is what we often call radiators, now radiators are almost eliminated in our north, basically a new house is delivered with floor heating, the only thing is that there is a group of radiators on the bathroom wall, and the later stage is to dismantle and replace, with a small one.

We are a small city in the northwest equivalent of the third tier, six or seven years ago, every house was indeed radiators, and then it has been floor heating, so that now I don't feel how cold it is in winter, it snows heavily outside, but I wear a vest indoors, and the temperature can reach more than 20 degrees! At the same time, as a decoration practitioner and experiencer, the following is divided into two advantages and disadvantages in detail:

Radiators, the picture below, at least one group must be installed in each space, and two groups of larger spaces are larger, not to mention the space, it is not good-looking, and the dust in the gaps of the radiators is not easy to take care of. This is one of them, and the other is that the heat dissipation is uneven, the closer to the radiator, the higher the temperature, and if the area is too large, it will take a certain amount of time for the heat to be transmitted.

It is a radiator for external hemorrhoids, and it is not as good as floor heating, because its area is definitely not as large as the floor, so the heat dissipation area is not so wide, and the heat will be slower, and if the house is large, it will have no effect.

It's actually a way to install heating on the wall. It is no better than underfloor heating. Because its heat dissipation surface is not uniform, it is not able to play a good heating effect.

It is better to install underfloor heating for the following reasons:

1. Comfort, health and health care: ground radiant heating is the most comfortable heating method, the indoor surface temperature is uniform, and the room temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top, giving people a good feeling of foot temperature and cold head; It is not easy to cause polluted air convection, and the indoor air is clean; Improves blood circulation and boosts metabolism.

2. Save space and beautify the living room: the radiator and its branch pipe are canceled indoors, increasing the usable area, facilitating decoration and home layout, and reducing sanitary dead ends.

3. High efficiency and energy saving: the radiant heating method has higher thermal efficiency than the convection heating method, and the heat is concentrated in the height of the human body; Small heat loss during transmission; Low-temperature radiant ground heating can be controlled by layering, household and room, and users can regulate and control according to the situation to effectively save energy.

4. Good thermal stability: the ground layer and concrete layer of ground heating have large heat storage and good thermal stability, and the indoor temperature changes slowly under the condition of intermittent heating.

5. Low operating costs: about 20% energy saving compared with other heating equipment, which can make full use of low-temperature hot water resources or use electricity price policies to reduce operating costs.

6. Long service life: plastic pipes or heating cables are buried in the ground in low-temperature ground heating, with good stability, no corrosion, no human damage, and the service life is synchronized with the building. Save maintenance and replacement costs compared to convection heating.

Underfloor heating is harmful, there is no evidence:

Floor heating is to use the whole ground as a radiator, through the heat medium in the floor radiation layer, evenly heat the ground, use the heat storage of the ground and the upward radiation law of heat, conduct heat from bottom to top, and achieve the purpose of heating.

But to say that the radiation of underfloor heating is terrible is obviously to take advantage of people's unclear concept of "radiation". There are many types of radiation, mainly ionizing radiation and non-ionizing radiation. Among them, ionizing radiation is devastating to living organisms, such as nuclear radiation.

But the "radiation" of underfloor heating is not ionizing radiation, but a kind of heat transfer. There are 3 forms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation, and sunlight is the most typical form of radiation.

Most home floor heating radiation is infrared radiation, which is a non-contact physical heat transfer that does not involve ionizing radiation at all.

Although winter has passed, it has now entered the Spring Festival period. But since many people have been asking before, which heating method is better? Now I'm going to summarize which one is better.

There are generally air conditioners, floor heating and radiators to keep warm, but which one is cheaper and safer?

1. Radiators.

The advantage of radiators is that they can heat up as soon as they are turned on, and sometimes they need to drain some cold water, but not much. The radiator is more comfortable to use and will not be very dry.

Radiator radiator heats up as soon as it is turned on, sometimes you need to drain some cold water, but not much. The overall comfort is good, not too dry.

If you want to install, you can plan it before you renovate. Under normal circumstances, a house of 100 yuan costs about 20,000 yuan.

The radiator is also hot water, it has to reach more than 60 degrees to evenly dissipate heat, it needs to consume more gas, take 100 room temperature to reach 20 degrees, generally 15m of gas, a month to have more than 1100 yuan.

2. Floor heating. Floor heating is mainly laid under the floor or under the tile, relatively speaking, the heat dissipation of floor heating is relatively uniform. However, one thing to note is that before the renovation of your new house, you should be prepared to lay floor heating, and do not think about this matter after the decoration is completed. Floor heating ranges from 10,000 to tens of thousands, depending on the type of floor heating, generally 100 floor heating ** in about 25,000.

Compared with radiators, underfloor heating only needs to reach 45°C to heat the room. The conversion efficiency of floor heating is relatively high, and the gas cost is also less. Heating a 10-square-meter room by 20° is less than 1,000 yuan a month.

3. Air conditioning. In fact, the air conditioner also has the effect of providing heating, as long as the heater is turned on, and it will come immediately. In a month, it may cost six to seven hundred yuan. However, it has the advantage that it can be installed and replaced at any time. The bad thing is that it will make you feel dry.

To sum up, it may be that the cost performance of floor heating will be better than the other two, and the comfort is also better, and friends who do not have decoration can consider it. But if your home needs floor heating for less than a month in a year's weather, it may be good to install an air conditioner, and the hot and cold effect will come.

Is underfloor heating or radiators better?

Installing underfloor heating is much better than heating in terms of comfort, and the practical life is longer than that of heating, although underfloor heating is more expensive. Energy saving is also much better than heating, and over time, heating will be slowly eliminated, so it is recommended to install underfloor heating.

This product has the characteristics of high efficiency, energy saving, economy, pollution-free, long life and temperature control, and the cost is only about half of that of ordinary electric heating products.

Carbon crystal technology has a wide range of application prospects, heating can replace high energy consumption, high pollution, high waste of traditional heating methods, in the military, aerospace navigation, extremely cold areas of airport snow, roof snow, field insulation and heating and other fields have a wide application prospects.

Advantages of foam concrete for underfloor heating:

Uniform heat dissipation and comfort: The heating principle of the floor heating system is radiant heat transfer, which is much smaller than that of air conditioners and heaters through forced convection circulating hot air heating, which reduces the spread of harmful germs in the air and makes the indoor environment more hygienic and clean. The underfloor heating system also creatively uses the characteristics of human body temperature, and the care from your feet makes you feel more comfortable and makes your home full of warmth.

The floor heating system can effectively promote foot blood circulation, thereby improving the blood circulation of the whole body, promoting metabolism, and inhibiting cardiovascular diseases; It is especially suitable for the elderly and children, and has more prevention and treatment effects for patients with arthritis and cold legs. And to a certain extent, improve autoimmunity.

Advantages of underfloor heating:

1. Better comfort: Floor heating is heat from the feet, and traditional Chinese medicine calls the feet the second heart acupuncture point dense concentration area of the human body. As the saying goes, "cold is born from the feet", which can be very effective in treating people with rheumatism.

2. Relatively low operating costs: Of course, this statement has a lot to do with your use time, just like driving on the road.

Like a car, floor heating belongs to a constant speed and has been maintained at a speed, while the radiator belongs to a meeting of 60m, a meeting of 80m, and a meeting of 10m.

3. Save space; Comfortable and hygienic; High thermal stability; Long operating life (materials that can be used continuously for more than 50 years with the same life as the building building) Disadvantages: There are requirements for flooring; Occupy a certain floor height;

Advantages of radiator heating:

1.There are many styles to match; Radiator styles are often matched because there are many types, styles and colors that can be matched with any interior decoration style. Let your imagination run wild.

2.Fully functional; Fast heating (a good radiator starts to dissipate heat in about 10 minutes, and reaches the preset temperature (20 degrees plus or minus 2 degrees) in half an hour); And there is no requirement for ground materials, which can be turned on and off immediately to save time;

Disadvantages: the heating effect is not very ideal; and occupy space; Easy to raise dust (because of air convection, easy to produce dust); The service life is shorter than that of underfloor heating (the service life of radiators is generally 10 years) There are pros and cons, or it depends on your own choice.

Under normal circumstances, floor heating is better, but there are installation restrictions, requiring installation before laying the floor, and wall heating I think is a substitute product for insufficient floor heating, which cannot be said to be bad, but it will occupy some wall space. Here's a look at the benefits and advantages of underfloor heating:

1.Compared with air conditioning heating, air conditioning heating is a heating method for heating air, indoor dry heat, odor, water loss, dry mouth, indoor dust, dirty air convection and other phenomena, using graphene electric heating film heating, radiation far infrared direct heating, far infrared and sunlight waves in the same belt, medically become the "light of life", so use it to heat as warm as the sun.

2.Compared with pipes: Pipes can not only keep warm, but also provide domestic hot water, which is incomparable to other heating methods.

However, repairs are required every year after pipes are prone to water pipe rupture, resulting in high maintenance costs. It brings a lot of inconvenience to life. After installing the graphene electric heating film, there is no need to clean, add or replace materials, and it will not cause any damage for more than 30 years.

3.Electric floor heating also has the following advantages: the temperature is concentrated in the main area of human activity below the meter, and the energy saving is more than 30; The conversion rate of electric heating film is high (more than 80), and the electricity consumption time is 1 4 of the use time, which is 25 of the energy consumption of air conditioning; Silent the whole heating process, no light, no pollution, worthy of the name of healthy, energy-saving, comfortable green products; No occupations: This area is conducive to interior beauty and decoration, increasing the actual effective space of the room; The single rooms are controllable, and each room is equipped with an independent smart thermostat to meet the requirements of energy saving.

The power conversion rate of the far-infrared electric heating film heating system reaches more than 80, and the electric energy is basically completely converted into thermal energy. As a result, electric heating films are more energy-efficient.

It is used to lay under a variety of flooring, tile, marble and other ground materials, and then equipped with an intelligent thermostat system to form a comfortable, environmentally friendly, high-efficiency and energy-saving, maintenance-free, independent use of each room, long life, concealed floor heating system. If the room is not big, it will be warm in about 30 minutes. It will take at least one day before the underfloor heating can have a good heating effect.

If we go back to our hometown, it is very expensive to keep the floor heating on, and it will be very cold if we don't turn it on, which is really inconvenient!

If you use a wall-hung stove to burn by yourself. There is also a high temperature on the radiator, and small clothes will dry quickly when placed on it, such as socks, which is why most of the bathrooms still have a set of radiators. Natural gas usage:

Floor heating is slightly lower than radiators, floor heating is slower than radiators, so cooling is also slow, energy consumption is relatively less, but they are laid on the ground, water floor heating is that there will be water pipes under the floor, through the heating of water, the heat at the bottom of the hot water bed, radiating to the ground, electric floor heating is the heating pipe heating air and transferring heat to the ground.

Our technology is not strong enough, and it belongs to the central heating water quality is very poor, even if other materials of radiators are used, it is difficult to withstand the corrosion of such heating water quality, in the north at that time, heating radiators are mainly heating such a rigid demand. It gives indoor personnel a feeling of warm feet and cool heads, so as to form a thermal micro-environment that truly meets the requirements of the human body. The temperature can be felt in any corner of the room, and children do not have to worry about catching a cold when they climb on the ground, giving personnel a uniform and comfortable feeling.

I have the most say in this, the house renovated in the summer of 19, the installation of floor heating, now the temperature in the house is stable at about 22 degrees, the temperature of the neighbor's house has been more than ten degrees, you say that the effect of floor heating is good, or the wall heating is good, the wall heating is better. Of course, floor heating can also be used, but it is necessary to build a heat exchange station in the community or install a water mixing system in the user's own home, which is a large investment, and whether it is a heat exchange station or a water mixing system, it requires electricity, and it needs to be maintained, and these costs are also a lot. If the heat source is self-heating, the floor heating is good.
